bounced back to form, repeating her trend of winning second time after a breathing operation, now 2-2 at this track with her other win having come at similarly-sharp right-handed Ludlow; led, steadied into 3 out, pressed on entering straight, forged clear flat; this wasn't a deep race and a mark pushing 120 will make things tough.
